At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter, the fundamental particles. The particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.
Mechanical Engineer Job Description
Introduction
Mechanical Engineer for the Technical Coordination/Project Office of the ATLAS experiment, to work on the operation and maintenance of the current detector mechanical infrastructure, as well as on all stages of future detector upgrades.
You will join :
- Physics Department (PH) which encompasses the experimental particle physics activities in the Organization.
- CERN Project Office (PO) Section of the ATLAS experiment (http://atlas.ch/(link is external)), which is in charge of operating, maintaining and upgrading the mechanical (infra-)structure of the ATLAS experiment and detectors.
FunctionsAs a member of ATLAS Technical Coordination and inside PH-ADO-PO section, you will perform the following functions:
Coordinate engineering activities during the development of new projects in relation with the ATLAS detector upgrade. These projects will be of a wide variety (integration task, design and development, lifting equipment, in-situ opening operation, etc.).
1- The task includes the overall responsibility of design, procurement and fabrication of detector supporting structures and integration activities for the ATLAS detector:
- Define the functional specifications.
- Steer and follow-up the designers involved in the project.
- Define the adequate FEA models to develop and assure the good interpretation of the result according to standards and construction code.
- Prepare the required calculation note and safety file.
- Draft the technical specifications and follow-up of industrial contracts for the production of the designed structures.
- Report regularly to the ATLAS collaboration.
2- Participate in the shutdowns activities in the ATLAS cavern:
- Open the ATLAS detector and provide access to the various systems.
- Enhance the procedures and tooling.
- Organize and supervise the activities related to the assembly and installation inside the ATLAS experiment of detector support structures.
